Saving Sensor Controller Data to an External Device

In addition to sending and receiving data via a communication protocol, you can also save Sensor Controller
data to an external device using the methods described below.
For details, refer to the
Connecting the FH/FZ5 as an External Drive
In addition to the Sensor Controller's built-in RAM disk, you can directly save various types of data such as
scene data, scene group data, logged data, and logged images to the external media below.
• External Memory (Refer to
(Cat. No. Z365).)
Data can be saved directly to a USB memory stick or SD Memory Card inserted into the slot on the Sensor Controller.
• Network Drive (Refer to
User's Manual (Cat. No. Z365).)
You can save data directly to a shared folder on a computer connected via Ethernet.

• Data Transfer (FTP Server) (Refer to
Manual (Cat. No. Z365).)
You can move logged image files and other data saved in the Sensor Controller's RAM disk or a USB memory stick to
a computer via Ethernet.
The computer must provide FTP client to access the FH/FZ5.
The computer cannot be accessed directly from the Sensor Controller.

Communicating with an External Device
Overview
Command frames are sent to the Sensor Controller and
response frames are received from the Sensor Controller
without the use of any specific protocol.
Data can be exchanged between the PLC, computer, or
other external device and the Sensor Controller by
sending and receiving ASCII or binary format data.
